Summary

When speaking of the pantheon of great Americans, there are many inspiring stories of men and women that made themselves great following the all elusive "American Dream." Americans have long drawn inspiration from figures such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and many others; there is one figure that has stood out from the rest. Many of the Founding Fathers were either born into wealth or became independently wealthy, but one poor farmer's son used his wits and determination to become arguably the greatest president in American history.

Abraham Lincoln's life story has become an inspiration to so many because of just how great of a story it is, but there is more than meets the eye. By delving into his childhood, and rise into adulthood and prominence, once can see the birth of a shrewd man of the law that would make himself into a shrewd man of the people.

History in 30: The Life of Abraham Lincoln provides a quick but comprehensive look at the life of the 16th president.
